"As part of a wider plan to establish a major new museum/attraction at DEA (formerly known as Redbird Airport), the CAF has a vision for CAF Wings Over Dallas to become the nation's pre-eminent annual World War II themed airshow and military reenactment event," the CAF said in a news release. "Flying demonstrations, flight line presentations, battle reenactments, veteran appearances and aircraft tours will provide hands-on opportunities for families and aviation history enthusiasts."

CAF President Stephan C. Brown said, "the program will combine interactive activities that allow the public to experience the sights and sounds of a historic military airfield. The entire weekend will provide visitors with a sneak preview of how the CAF plans to preserve and teach the story of the men and women of the Greatest Generation, here in Dallas."
